Hello
I have a brand new Macbook Pro 15 and I'm playing is through a brand new Samsung LCD TV through the mini display/HDMI adapter. Initially, I got sound through my TV speakers - everything was fine. Recently I hooked up my surround sound and therefore changed the audio settings on my TV to external speakers (versus built in TV speakers). Since my receiver is not HDMI switchable, I am running an optical audio out from my TV to my receiver - everything works fine this way (Blu-ray, Xbox, etc), but my Mac does not - why does my optical audio out from my TV support everything but my Mac? After getting frustrated, I decided to stick with the internal TV speakers for my Mac audio, but upon switching the TV audio settings back from external speakers to internal TV speakers, the sound through the TV from my Mac has stopped stopped working - the internal Mac speakers are transmitting however. So at some point, something either told the Mac to stop transmitting audio, or something told my TV to stop accepting audio from the Mac. This is probably an issue with my TV (but if so, then why do all of my other devices work?), but just in case it's a Mac issue, I am posting here. Sorry that this posting is so long, but I wanted to make sure that I included all of the details. Thanks in advance.
